Endowed Faculty Positions

A great library faculty is critical to the success of a great research library. Under the leadership of new UO President Michael Schill, academic units across campus will concentrate on boosting tenure-related faculty and research. These values are echoed at the UO Libraries. Please contact Keri Aronson, director of development, at (541) 346-1890 to learn more about how endowing a position will allow us to continue to attract and retain the strongest possible candidates to fill vital leadership roles. Your investment at this level will greatly increase the library’s visibility, reputation, and excellence in service to our faculty and students.
